Job pricing... help please?

[fdcmiami]

And sometimes the market can be a real bear.

I used to work for a guy who said that doing a bid was, half sizing up the job, and half sizing up the customer. He was good at it and I'm not. But I did learn enough to spot some of the ones you don't want to do work for.

don't be looking for much if your customer base pays with cash or personal checks (i wouldn't take one). in most, but not all, those are not the customers you want to develop. i'm glad i don't have to put up with them any more but i sure have in the past.
